Media Tie - In Writing 101 : No , you may not just write your novel and then somehow pay the licensor for the privilege — although this is a VERY common misconception . ( Just a few months ago , a fan at a convention asked me how much I paid CBS to be able write Trek novels — and I ’ve gotten this question a lot . )
Here ’s how it works : The Publisher does a tidy sum with the Licensor to put out SPACE VIXENS novel , establish on the popular flick / TV show / mirthful Bible / computer game . The Publisher then hire independent authors to publish the books on a work - for - hire basis . The Studio must approve all outline in advance and has final favourable reception over the ms . as well . In unforesightful , the writer is a lease contractor . The Publisher pays the Licensor for the right to put out the book and pays the writer to the write it .
In other words , you’re able to not write a 400 - page SPIDER - MAN novel on spec and then arrange to get it issue somehow . That ’s not how it works .
I harp on this only because it discover my meat when multitude keep asking me how to get their tie - in book publish — after they ’ve already written the tinker’s damn thing !
